IMPROVED GRATER AND SLIGER.

T0 ALL WHOM I'.I MAY OONGERN:

Be it known that we, CYUS W. SALADEE, of Newark, county of Licking, State of Ohio, and JOHN S. HALL, ot' Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, have invented a. new and improved Mode of Constructing Graters and Slicers for grating or slioingfruits, Ste.; and we do hereby declare that the following is a. full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Our invention consistsl in a. cheap and simple machinefor grating or slicing fruits und vegetables, the grater or slicer -being made to reciprocate (by turning a bell-crank) under the receptacle in which the fruit or vegetable is placed. In the drawings- Figure 1 is an end elevation.

Figure is a side elevation.

Figure 3 is a view showing the Slicer.

A is a suitable frame, bent like a reversed U, and provided with. a thumb-screw, so as to be fastened to the ltuble when used.

B is o. sliding table formed of cast metal, and sliding in grooves, a, in the frame A. From the centre of this table a fork, C, projects downward.

D is the operating bell-crank, pivoted in the frame A, the straight' part of'the yoke playing in the f ork C, so that, as the crank revolves, it imparts a. reciprocating movement to the tableB.

E is the holder at the top of the frame, and in which the lrnit to be grated or sliced is put. e is o hollow plug, to be put in the holder when a smaller fruit or vegetable is to be grated or cut.

G is the grater, made as usual,'and fixed, to the upper surface of the sliding table.

When the instrument is to be used as a slicer, the Slicer r S, cousistingwot' spiate, S, and knife, S', is tobe fixed to the table, and the grater G removed.

lIn using our grater," the radisli or fruit 1s placed in the holderE and pressed/downward while the crank is turned. In this manner our m'achine grates and slices well and rapidly. I l

Having thus fully described ous'invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 1. The frame A, table B, and crank D, substantially as described, in combination with the grater Gr, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. The freine A, table B, and crank D, substantially as described, in combination with the slicer S, substantinlly as and for the purposes set forth.

3. The hollow plug e, in'combination with the holder E, in the manner and for the purpose substantially as shown and described.
